The angel tree / by Riley, Lucinda,1965-2021,author.;
Thirty years have passed since Greta left Marchmont Hall, a grand and beautiful house nestled in the hills of rural Monmouthshire. But when she returns to the Hall for Christmas, at the invitation of her old friend David Marchmont, she has no recollection of her past association with it -- the result of a tragic accident that has blanked out more than two decades of her life. Then, during a walk through the wintry landscape, she stumbles across a grave in the woods, and the weathered inscription on the headstone tells her that a little boy is buried here. The poignant discovery strikes a chord in Greta's mind and soon ignites a quest to rediscover her lost memories.

The wolf tree / by McCluskey, Laura,author.;
"Eilean Eadar is a barren, windswept rock inhabited by a few hundred humans and sheep. Until now, the island was best known for the disappearance of three lighthouse keepers in 1919, a mystery that was never solved. But when a young man is found dead at the foot of the same lighthouse and the injuries are inconsistent with suicide, two detective inspectors are sent from Glasgow to investigate. Georgina 'George' Lennox is finally back from leave after a devastating accident and happy to be on the case with her partner, Richie Stewart, despite being greeted by hostile locals who seem determined to thwart their investigation. While they struggle to gather details surrounding the young man's death, George and Richie uncover more about the island itself, the community and their strange beliefs, all tied to a powerful, enigmatic priest. Richie wants to close the case, and head home to his family, but he hasn't heard the wolves at night or seen the dark figures at their window. George is certain there's something going on -- but can she trust her own instincts, or have the painkillers and sleeping pills she has grown dependent on impaired her judgment? But Eilean Eadar holds a far darker secret, and George's investigation will eventually lead her to a terrible truth that will threaten both her sanity and her life"--

The trees : a novel / by Everett, Percival,author.;
"Percival Everett's The Trees is a page-turner that opens with a series of brutal murders in the rural town of Money, Mississippi. When a pair of detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive in town, they meet expected resistance from the local sheriff, his deputy, the coroner, and a string of racist White townsfolk. The murders present a puzzle, for at each crime scene there is a second dead body: that of a man who resembles Emmett Till. The detectives suspect these are killings of retribution, but soon discover that eerily similar murders are taking place all over the country. Something truly strange is afoot. As the bodies pile up, the MBI detectives seek answers from a local root doctor who has been documenting every lynching in the country for years, uncovering a history that refuses to be buried. In this bold, provocative book, Everett takes direct aim at racism and police violence, and does so in fast-paced style that ensures the reader can't look away. The Trees is an enormously powerful novel of lasting importance from an author with his finger on America's pulse"--
